This is the website of Tanakh (Pty) Ltd trading as Tanakh. A reference to “you” and similar terms is a reference to any person accessing this website. “Website” means a reference to the Tanakh website and all web pages which may be contained therein.

Acceptance

By accessing and/or using the website, you agree to be bound by the terms. Tanakh may at any time modify any of the terms and such modification will supersede and replace any previous terms. The amended terms will be made available on the website. Each time you access the website and/or use the services offered via the website, you agree to be bound by the terms, as may be modified from time to time.

Content of the Website

Whilst every effort is made to update the information provided on this website on a regular basis, Tanakh makes no representations or warranties, whether express, implied in law or residual, as to the accuracy, completeness or reliability of any information, data and/or content on the website from time to time. Tanakh reserves the right at any time to change or discontinue without notice, any aspect or feature of the website and any information, data and/or content on the website.

Access Codes

Before purchasing any products via the website, you will be obliged to enter you user name or personal ID number (“ID”) and personal password (“password”) or other unique identifying information. Jointly we refer to the ID and password and other unique identifying information as your “Access Codes”. You undertake to ensure that your Access Codes are not disclosed to any third party and to immediately report any actual or potential unauthorised access to or use of your Access Codes. On receipt of such communication, Tanakh reserves the right to reject any communication received from you, suspend the processing of any communications and orders not yet executed by Tanakh and immediately deactivate your Access Codes. You shall thereafter be obliged to refrain from ordering any products until such time as new Access Codes have been authorised by Tanakh. Tanakh may from time to time require you to change your Access Codes, as the case may be, and you undertake to comply with such instruction immediately.

Verification

You agree that all instructions, consents, orders and other communications which purport to originate from you or a person who had authority to act on your behalf to operate automatically (unless it is proved that such information system did not properly execute such programming) (collectively “the originator”) and which are sent to Tanakh electronically and which may (as a result of interception, equipment malfunction, the distortion of communication links or any other reason whatsoever) be different from the instructions actually sent or given, or may not have been given by you at all, shall be deemed to have been given by the originator in the form actually received by Tanakh and you will be bound by such instruction with no liability of whatever nature attaching to Tanakh in regard thereto.
You waive any rights that you may have or obtain against Tanakh arising directly or indirectly from any loss or damage of whatsoever nature which you may suffer as a result of the fact that Tanakh acts on your instructions/orders or instructions/orders purported to emanate from you and you indemnify Tanakh against all and any claims, liabilities, losses, costs, fines, damages and expenses incurred (whether directly or indirectly) by you, arising as a result of the fact that Tanakh has acted on your instructions/orders or instructions/orders which purported to emanate from you.

Orders, confirmation & delivery

The advertising of products via the website merely constitutes an invitation by Tanakh for you to make an offer to purchase products and we remain entitled to reject any order without giving reasons therefore. As erroneous or outdated prices may be displayed on this website from time to time, you agree that we will not be obligated to sell a product at such erroneous price. Once you have selected the product you wish to purchase and submitted your order to Tanakh, you will be given the opportunity to review the entire transaction and correct any mistakes, before electing whether to withdraw from the transaction or proceed with the transaction. By clicking on the “purchase” or similar “final submit” button you are deemed to have submitted an offer to purchase the product/s selected by you (“order”) and the order cannot be withdrawn by you unless expressly agreed to by Tanakh. Tanakh reserves the right to cancel the order for any reason on notice to you. Receipt of a confirmation of the order (which constitutes acceptance by Tanakh to process the order) will be sent to you once we receive your order. Although the website is set up to confirm receipt of orders, technical or other problems may delay or prevent such confirmations. DO NOT resend your instruction if you do not receive a confirmation from us as this may lead to a duplicate transaction for which you will be held liable. Please note that a transaction will only be deemed to have been concluded once the product/service in question has been delivered/collected in accordance with the selected delivery option or agreed process. Delivery times are estimates only and we are not liable for any late deliveries.

A pre-order is not a completed or confirmed order. Although every effort will be made to source the requested product, we cannot guarantee the availability of any product. We also reserve the right to decline any pre-order without reason. Once in receipt of a pre-order we will reserve the product for purchase by you subject to stock availability. Final pricing of pre-ordered products may vary from the price displayed at the time the pre-order was placed. All pre-orders will be confirmed with you telephonically or via email.

A product request is not an order. Although every effort will be made to source the requested product, we cannot guarantee the availability or existence of any product. We also reserve the right to decline any product request. Once in receipt of a product request we will contact the relevant supplier to establish stock availability and pricing. All product requests will be confirmed with you telephonically or via email.

Any applications which you submit to us via the website will be subject to our normal approval processes and procedures. We reserve the right to withhold approval at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to verify the identity of any purchaser or the payment method used. This may require you being required to, inter alia, send us a copy of your identity document, proof of residence, copy of front and back of your credit card. Failure to do so may result in us cancelling the order without reason. If Tanakh approves your application you may be required to sign additional terms & conditions, which will form the basis of Tanakh’s agreement with you. A copy of these terms can be obtained by calling our helpdesk on 0861sculpt. If you do not agree to these additional terms & conditions then your application will be cancelled and you will not be entitled to use or access the product or service you have subscribed to.

Performance

All orders shall be executed within the time period notified therefore by Tanakh. Tanakh shall notify you should any products be unavailable for any reason whatever.

General

Without detracting from the provisions of your account terms and conditions, the terms constitute the sole record of the agreement between you and Tanakh in relation to your use of this Website. No indulgence or extension of time which either you or Tanakh may grant to the other will constitute a waiver of or, whether by estoppel or otherwise, limit any of the existing or future rights of the grantor in terms hereof, save in the event or to the extent that the grantor has signed a written document expressly waiving or limiting such rights.
Tanakh shall be entitled to cede, assign and delegate all or any of its rights and obligations in terms of these terms.
All provisions of these terms and conditions are, notwithstanding the manner in which they have been grouped together or linked grammatically, severable from each other. Any provision of these terms and conditions which is or becomes unenforceable in any jurisdiction, whether due to voidness, invalidity, illegality, unlawfulness or for any reason whatever, shall, in such jurisdiction only and only to the extent that it is so unenforceable, be treated as pro non scripto and the remaining provisions of these terms and conditions shall remain in full force and effect.
Should Tanakh be prevented from fulfilling any of its obligations to you as a result of any event of force majeure, then those obligations shall be deemed to have been suspended to the extent that and for as long as Tanakh is so prevented from fulfilling them and your corresponding obligations shall be suspended to the corresponding event. In the event that force majeure continues for more than fourteen days after it has first occurred then Tanakh shall be entitled (but not obliged) to terminate all of its rights and obligations in terms of or arising out of these terms by giving notice to you. An “event of force majeure” shall mean any event or circumstance whatsoever which is not within the reasonable control of including, without limitation, vis major, casus fortuitus, any act of God, strike, theft, riots, explosion, insurrection or other similar disorder, war (whether declared or not) or military operations, the downtime of any external telecommunications line, power failure, international restrictions, any requirement or any international authority, any requirement of any government or other competent local authority, any court order, export control or shortage or transport facilities.

The deeming provisions of the ECT Act are excluded to the extent that no message shall be deemed to have been received by us unless we acknowledge receipt thereof in writing.
